Top cities for house sitting in United Kingdom

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your St Albans home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like St Albans.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your St Albans home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hi I'm Alice! I'm a 25 year old freelance illustrator.&nbsp;
I have spent almost all my life with my now 16 year old cat, so I’ve been taking care of her for a while. I also have two younger cats which keep the house interesting with their different personalities. I have so much love for all animals and love to be around them. I love dogs too - I hope I can adopt one soon! I am happy to do home visits or any of the services listed below to take care of your pet. Please read through the services below.
I love meeting new pets :) One of my favorite things in life is being with animals and taking care of them. I understand that a lot of pet owners are very busy and don't always have time to take care of them 24/7, so I am more than happy to be that extra person who can come to your house and feed your pet and play with them for a while or overnight if needed. I also offer cat boarding (your cat stays at my home) for however long necessary - no dogs unfortunately!
I can provide during my visits: feeding, cleaning food/water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication. Food and litter must be provided by pet owner. 
Pictures/videos can be sent to you during each visit so you can see that your pet is being taken care of!
Services:
1 home visit a day: I will pop into your house once a day (either morning or evening) to feed your pet, clean the litter if required, and spend some time with them. My visits last around 15-20 minutes. ￼
2 home visits a day: I will visit once in the morning and once in the evening.
Dog walking: I will take your dog(s) out for a 30-45 minute walk either to the nearest park or around the neighborhood or wherever the owner prefers.
House sitting: If your pet needs some more attention and you prefer to have someone you can trust to stay in the house for a night or two, then I’m happy to house sit while taking care of your pet!&nbsp;
Cat boarding: I will take in your cat to stay at my home for however long you need them to be looked after. Litter, litter box and food must be provided by owner.&nbsp;
My services are available in HA1 and other post codes nearby.
I hope to meet your pet soon!
Alice :)


I am a full time pet sitter based in Stanmore, I absolutely adore animals.

Currently offering FREE collection and Drop off service on all bookings!!
I am able to form a special bond with your dog and ensure a stimulating and loving environment, with plenty of walks and playtime.
I have been a pet sitter/ dog walker for 2 years and wouldn't have it any other way.
My main goal within the first few days with a dog , is to gain their trust, get to know them and their personality, and ensure good boundary setting whilst spending time with them to help ease any anxiety.
I will always ensure their normal routine is carried out, and will maintain a file with necessary information. 
I am local to HA7, serving Edgware, Stanmore, Queensbury, Kingsbury and Kenton.&nbsp;
&nbsp;I enjoy long walks in nature, sports and painting, horse racing and duck feeding. I have previously spent 3 years on a farm, I thoroughly enjoyed this role allowing me to care for horses, chickens and pigs.

Hello,&nbsp;
Thank you for trusting me with your home, and furry family member. I will take care of both as if they were my own, so you can relax while away on your holiday. Happy to water the plants, give pet photos and updates, and anything else you need to feel at ease.&nbsp;
This is a new venture for me. I currently live in Muswell Hill, North London with my mother (it's cheap rent while I save up for my own place) I commute to Chelsea where I teach Yoga at a reputable pay as you go gym, and also for a handful of private clients in the comfort of their own home.&nbsp;
Mum and I have a cat, his name is Pilou. His nature is a bit wild and he is very gymnastical, he scarpers around the back garden at an impressive pace, becomes very excited when darting up a tree only to loop a branch trying to catch his own tail. He is the handsome fella with piercing blue eyes. Also pictured is a black and white cat, who seems to have adopted mum and I - he comes round a few times a week, stays just long enough to eat a handful of cat cruchies and off he goes. There is also a photo of my beloved Mini, she was a turkish angoran, long fluffy white hair with one blue eye, and one green. I would love to have a puppy, though it's a biger commitment. The pups you see in my photos belong to various friends. I am quite partial to a sweet natured cockapoo, but like big hounds too. Due to the nature of my work I am phyically fit and strong, and happy to go for long dog walks if nessesary.&nbsp;
I am a lover of all animals, and dream of escaping the city smog, growing my own fruit and vegetables, and maybe have some hens. Meanwhile I work hard and love my job teaching Yoga and meditation. I goto bed early, as I often have morning clients. The commute is quite long for me, and I want to pet sit in and around Zone 1 (and maybe 2). I look forward to hearing from you.&nbsp;
Kindly regards,
Elisa Devlin

Hey there! We're Tristan and Laura, living in NW7 and both working in the music industry in London.
We have had our cat Rupert for 7 years now. He's deaf so needs a bit of extra care and lives indoors. We love him and his quirky little character! Before Rupert, Tristan looked after two lovely female moggies at home for 10 years. Laura comes from a family of dog lovers and rodent fans. She has had 8 guinea pigs and 2 rabbits (not all at once, luckily). She is also an avid horse rider and still rides weekly. We both love animals and would love to expand our little family however we're not quite in the position to right now, so we'd love to help others take care of their animals in the meantime. 
We're very lucky to live near plenty of green space and have a car, so have the ability to be a little more flexible. Laura works from home and Tristan also splits his time between home and the office. We're both often available in the evenings and weekends too. 
We are happy to hang out with your pet(s) for plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, feeding/water, litter cleaning, home visits, administering oral medications, or just to be around to keep an eye on your pet for a peace of mind. We're quite laid back and open to discussing your pet's needs!
Our local vet is Medivet, Mill Hill and is under a 10 minute drive away. 
If you have any questions we are both happy to answer them and can inform you of our exact availability.

Hi! My name is Liss and I am an experienced dog sitter ready to take care of your furry-friend! I have over 15 years experience with lots of different dog breeds and sizes. I absolutely adore dogs and since losing my own dog a few years ago, I have been dog-sitting to help out people get quality care for their pets as well as to get to spend time with animals whenever I can.&nbsp;
I have been trusted with many different pets ranging from dogs to reptiles to horses and more. I adore all animals and love spending time with them so you can be assured I will give your pet the best care!
I have experience with handling all dog sizes including walks and basic grooming as well as administering medication orally.&nbsp;
For walks, I will try to take your dog out for at least one hour and give them a chance to run around and let out all their energy! For younger/more athletic dogs I will take them out for up to 2.5h hours. I love to hike as well so if your dog is willing, I will happily take them on a beautiful, long hike with me to get all their energy out!
For house sitting and visits, I will ensure your pet is fed according to their usual schedule and they will have constant supervision when I am with them. I am a university student so I have lots of time to spare for your pets during the week! I am available for dog sitting all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and weekends and available for dog walks on Monday and Wednesday mornings as well as the rest of the week.
I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to taking care of your wonderful dog!


Used to have a dog wolf in raise from a shy and frightful teen to a brave and caring adult doggie. ️-- ° --&nbsp;My motives in working with animals are to gain some experience, meet and learn from many the animal contacts, earn a bit of financial support from genuine cooperation and so on. As an experienced animal owner I as well intuite on the importance of services like these. -- ° --Experiences in personal pet owning level include rats, mice, gerbils, rabbits, cats and dogs asided with a few chickens and a couple of parakeets. ‍🦺️&nbsp;Fishes back in the days just the same. In pet care taking in the other hand, I have been helping lots of friends with any basic duties regarding their animal friends and taken care of a couple of dogs through Pawshake earlier as well. One the dogs was staying for a few days, the other one took a day care every week until I moved off into another city. -- ° --Animals and other pets for me don't need to have been vaccinated against nothing but rabies, if that is the local authorities recommendation. 🩺️️-- ° --&nbsp;When for bringing pets over or requesting caretaking, please remember to tell me&nbsp;if there are any exceptionalities to be taken into accounts, such as the animal needing quite of a constant attention, making a lot of noise or mess, breaking places if alone in another room, food allergies, conflicts with other pets/animals and so on! ️️️Also if the animals are having issues in walking with a leash, pull quite hard, are complicated with a lot of traffic etc. don't forget to give a notice! :) 🦮 ️ ️ 

i love being around and connecting with animals, it feels very therapeutic and healing to me. I am very attentive and sensitive to animals' needs, and always follow their lead and do the impose my own wants on them. I am happy to match their energy no matter what mood they're in, whether they want to go for a run, or just stay in and nap.
I look forward to meeting your beautiful pets and getting to know and love them.


Dear Pet Owners, my name is Xenia and I am 27 years old. I live in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. I am a qualified Primary School Teacher and I have a pet dog at home, who is 5 years old. Taking care of children and pets is what I love to do.&nbsp;
I have always loved animals, and I have experience caring for dogs and other pets through my work as a pet sitter and dog walker. I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your dogs. I have basic knowledge of animal behaviours, I am a reliable person, who is very caring, patient and empathetic. I grew up with various pets and have experience of caring for dogs - including puppies - and rabbits in particular.
I am available for dog-walking and sitting dogs, including over-night. Drop me a message if you may be looking for one of these services, and we can have a chat! I have pet sitted in the past as favours and so my main motivator for pet sitting really is the joy I get of being around animals.&nbsp;
All pets have their own personalities. Their likes and dislikes, and so I like to get to know a bit about your pet before caring for them. For example, let me know if your dog does not like certain other dog breeds if I will be walking them etc.&nbsp;
I am available for dog sitting, and dog walking. I do not have space to keep a large pet, such as a cat or dog, in my home however if you would like overnight pet sitting I am happy to stay at your home to care for your pet.&nbsp;
To help you feel safe and comfortable leaving your pet in my care, I am happy to have a video call or meet before providing any service.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I am available most days. I am happy to travel and stay at your home during sitting periods, as I am unable to have anymore pets in my home. I own a car. 
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!&nbsp;

I'm a simple and well educated guy who loves dogs! I think dogs can love much more than humans hence why they deserve to be respected and loved as much as possible! The most important thing is the love and the respect we can give to our best friends.
I love animals and would love to expand my little family however I'm not quite in the position to right now, so I'd love to help others take care of their animals in the meantime.&nbsp;
I'm very lucky to live near plenty of green space and have a car, so have the ability to be a little more flexible.
